Stiles Vintage, 2003 Interesting political take on Jesse James This is a fascinating work on Jesse James. It is not so much a standard biography as a "political history" of James.

James Ronald Kennedy, Walter Donald Kennedy Pelican Publishing Company, 1994 This book busts every myth and revision produced against Southern history It always annoyed me how countries including France and England would constantly mock Americans for our lack of appreciation, understanding, or simple knowledge of our own history.
